What is the difference bewteen the Admin and User Admin concepts?
You can find them in different places, like:
I did not find a clear explanation for them, and each explanation for itself does not make it clear neither. The documentation says:
is_user_admin()
Whether the current request is for a user admin screen.
is_admin()
Whether the current request is for an administrative interface page.
Since admin screen and administrative interface page are quite similar concepts to me, I am confused.
Lösung
A "user admin screen" (or interface page) is a page in wp-admin for managing users. An "admin screen" (or interface page) is any page in wp-admin, which includes user admin screens but also screens for managing other types of data.
